- 1:59Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I still have the same i still
- 2:02Speaker 1: have the same description. That's there.
- 2:04Speaker 4: So I was looking at Patreon because I was like, wait,
- 2:07Speaker 4: how many how many scores did we promise people? So
- 2:13Speaker 4: it looks like the answer is thirty per month?
- 2:18Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's back when things were going. Obviously we
- 2:23Speaker 2: can read arrange that. Yeah, I think you're good top five.
- 2:29Speaker 2: We can we can figure it out. But I need
- 2:31Speaker 2: you not not on the cat now. We will do
- 2:35Speaker 2: it after the christs. Are you trying to link the
- 2:39Speaker 2: Patreon and the discord?
- 2:41Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 2:41Speaker 2: Yeah, we are me and want to make it happen.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Yeah no, no, me and well, I don't know. Maybe
- 2:46Speaker 2: you're better. You probably are better than me. And Southerly
- 2:49Speaker 2: Elf spent three days trying to do this and never
- 2:54Speaker 2: got it to work. So I had to do it,
- 2:58Speaker 2: which which is taboo.
- 2:59Speaker 4: But I'm gonna do it anyway. And then and then
- 3:01Speaker 4: it's not gonna work, and then I have something to blame,
- 3:05Speaker 4: you know.
- 3:10Speaker 2: And all this jazz. It was a pain in the ass.
- 3:13Speaker 2: That's why I'm like, he's trying to link patreonic discord
- 3:15Speaker 2: and it doesn't fucking work. Like for whatever reason, I
- 3:18Speaker 2: always saw him going and like, yeah, trying to get
- 3:22Speaker 2: people registered. That seemed annoying.
- 3:23Speaker 4: I didn't want to deal with that.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, and they have to link their Patreon with
- 3:28Speaker 2: their discord before it'll actually happen. Well, I wasn't. Well,
- 3:36Speaker 2: well we'll see. Maybe maybe you just have the secret sauce,
- 3:39Speaker 2: my guy, that's all I want. But I wanted this
- 3:41Speaker 2: on record because yes, I have updated it. We are
- 3:44Speaker 2: all in there. Everything according to well, I don't know
- 3:51Speaker 2: what I was looking at.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Sorry, it's looking at z and cheap.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Yeah. Well maybe because they've actually done something in their
- 3:59Speaker 2: key for it careers. Das has been Yeah, drash Cords
- 4:07Speaker 2: did something once upon a time.
- 4:09Speaker 4: He's like, that's right, My locals are better than me.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Yea, daz cor is a fairy tale and I still suck,
- 4:20Speaker 2: but I can still drink real good. That's all that
- 4:23Speaker 2: really honestly matters. Right at the end of the day,
- 4:25Speaker 2: We've we've come to we've all come to the real
- 4:31Speaker 2: kith Forge. That's drinking. But what's going on? Everybody? I'm
- 4:36Speaker 2: the one, the only, the w o okay, I e
- 4:38Speaker 2: joined here by the usual cast of misfits. We got
- 4:43Speaker 2: the drazz Score guys, doctor m Sheep, and the Ewakeyist
- 4:53Speaker 2: of Ewoks.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Hello, Key Fords community, glad to hear this rambling again.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Yes, we we do lots of stuff and things. I'm tired,
- 5:06Speaker 2: you're tired.
- 5:07Speaker 1: We really we really don't do stuff and things.
- 5:09Speaker 2: But sometimes we do stuff and things.
- 5:13Speaker 3: I had a buddy cub and we played board games
- 5:15Speaker 3: this evening.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Oh wild you play.
- 5:21Speaker 3: Kin Fire and uh thunder Road Vendetta.
- 5:28Speaker 2: Oh I want to play one?
- 5:33Speaker 3: Beat us again in thunder Road.
- 5:36Speaker 2: This is going terrible for the Brewers. What is going on?
- 5:41Speaker 2: Why is it going to be? Why are we going
- 5:43Speaker 2: to a game five? This is ridiculous.
- 5:46Speaker 4: I think I played thunder Road back in nineteen eighty nine.
- 5:49Speaker 2: You know, wait, isn't thunder Road that one that we
- 5:52Speaker 2: played at the at the Cold Festival with the bikes
- 5:57Speaker 2: and the cars? Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, that game is fun.
- 6:03Speaker 2: I didn't when but that game was fun. I enjoyed it.
- 6:08Speaker 2: But lots of news and stuff going on. Evansville is
- 6:14Speaker 2: this weekend. Who are any y'all going. Drascourt's probably gone,
- 6:18Speaker 2: he's got nothing going on. No, unfortunately, unfortunately not. No,
- 6:23Speaker 2: it does look really cool.
- 6:25Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a it is kind of a pain in
- 6:27Speaker 4: the butt to get to if you're not in the area.
- 6:30Speaker 4: If you're like in the area, it's like within two
- 6:34Speaker 4: ish hours of a whole bunch of Midwest cities. So
- 6:37Speaker 4: like one hundred percent get why you know that spot
- 6:42Speaker 4: is getting picked, But if you're not from the area,
- 6:45Speaker 4: getting there is a little bit of a hassle. There's
- 6:48Speaker 4: no direct flights really from from much of anywhere, so
- 6:54Speaker 4: I either have to get a connection or like you know,
- 6:57Speaker 4: stop in one of those other cities, and then I
- 7:00Speaker 4: rent a car and drive there, neither which are appealing. Yeah,
- 7:07Speaker 4: and then it just it's just you know, a lot.
- 7:11Speaker 4: And I just bought two thousand dollars worth of power tokens.
- 7:15Speaker 1: So the talkans entire.
- 7:24Speaker 2: Dragons and exhausta dragons. They're tired super super dragons.
- 7:30Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, and it's like my you know, Matt
- 7:33Speaker 4: the getting Boba before uh you know, key for tonight's night,
- 7:39Speaker 4: and I'm there ordering and then I I'm waiting, but
- 7:43Speaker 4: at my phone right and then you know, I get
- 7:46Speaker 4: your American Express bill is already like I am not
- 7:49Speaker 4: clicking on that.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Oh so and then his wife did drive score is
- 7:57Speaker 2: now grounded, I think like a my email address. So
- 8:02Speaker 2: I didn't know you could ground grown men. But here
- 8:05Speaker 2: we are.
- 8:06Speaker 4: Let it happen.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Speaking of the game found, game Found did reach three
- 8:14Speaker 2: hundred one thousand with a little extra, right, Oh, is
- 8:20Speaker 2: that is that the time it took? I was going
- 8:22Speaker 2: to ask if we if they had an official timing
- 8:24Speaker 2: or we got anything.
- 8:25Speaker 4: They posted that it was five hours and fifteen minutes
- 8:29Speaker 4: and how much should they get? Basically they were standing
- 8:33Speaker 4: at it added nearly twelve to the so that wasn't
- 8:39Speaker 4: too bad. And so there were definitely they were really
- 8:41Speaker 4: some people on a c Maybe they was buys Oliver
- 8:45Speaker 4: and helping featureself like people were like egging each other onto.
- 8:49Speaker 2: Like buy more.
- 8:51Speaker 4: So of course, probably half that of Sydney buying just
- 8:54Speaker 4: you know is jam dex Oh you think jam about
- 8:59Speaker 4: a whole? Do you think about watch?
- 9:01Speaker 3: And uh zenz z Zenzi bought a bunch of ecks
- 9:05Speaker 3: for stuff I like looked a couple of times and
- 9:09Speaker 3: went I'm not pledged. I could pledge to help out,
- 9:12Speaker 3: And then I kept looking at the rewards and going,
- 9:16Speaker 3: I don't want any of this.
- 9:19Speaker 2: I already own all of this, Like I.
- 9:22Speaker 3: Want one dragon scale deck, and there was nothing else
- 9:29Speaker 3: in the awards, Like I don't really care if I
- 9:32Speaker 3: get a guarantee gigantic deck. I don't care if I
- 9:34Speaker 3: get a full deck. I'm not waiting for a random
- 9:39Speaker 3: full foil deck. M It's just like the truth and
- 9:45Speaker 3: you know, like we keep asking for special prints and whatever,
- 9:48Speaker 3: but there's also this the truth of it where who cares? Right, Like,
- 9:56Speaker 3: you get so many bad decks that have special print
- 9:59Speaker 3: run and they don't mean much. Like I'm in the
- 10:02Speaker 3: process of trying to collect a foil set, so people
- 10:05Speaker 3: out there, if you have boils that you don't care
- 10:07Speaker 3: much about, let me know. But I'm not willing to
- 10:09Speaker 3: pay premium prices for bad foil card decks, right like
- 10:15Speaker 3: I'm willing to pay bulk rate for your bulk rate decks. Sorry,
- 10:20Speaker 3: I mean like hopefully you didn't pay too much for
- 10:21Speaker 3: them when you got them. But yeah, like a bad
- 10:28Speaker 3: deck with a foil I mean, the only card I
- 10:30Speaker 3: even care about and the whole deck is the foil.
- 10:31Speaker 3: The other thirty five cards could almost go in the
- 10:35Speaker 3: trash as far as I'm concerned. They don't sitting in
- 10:39Speaker 3: a box because I'm not a monster.
- 10:42Speaker 2: Yeah, it is kind of the problem, right like, and
- 10:44Speaker 2: this is why, Like originally I was like, we wanted foils,
- 10:47Speaker 2: and it is a great idea. However, we need to
- 10:51Speaker 2: be able to, like I don't know that we need
- 10:53Speaker 2: to be able to somehow, some way be able to
- 10:55Speaker 2: besides Sleeves customize our decks while maintaining the that's while
- 11:04Speaker 2: maintaining it. And we've given them a million chances to
- 11:08Speaker 2: be like this is doable. They've never come right out
- 11:12Speaker 2: and be like, this is why this is a doable
- 11:14Speaker 2: So I don't I still don't understand why it's not doable.
- 11:17Speaker 3: Well, right, letting us proxy into our deck would be cool,
- 11:22Speaker 3: but enhancements makes it messy.
- 11:26Speaker 2: Enhancements does make it messy, which you know you.
- 11:29Speaker 3: Just say, well, you can't proc proxy and enhanced card
- 11:31Speaker 3: too darn bad, Like that's just part of life, right Like,
- 11:35Speaker 3: I don't see why you couldn't proxy in a non
- 11:39Speaker 3: enhanced card if you had one because of sleeves. But yeah,
- 11:45Speaker 3: they just they just don't let us because functionally, even
- 11:49Speaker 3: the foil cards are sort of proxies, right, they were
- 11:54Speaker 3: printed on a separate print run and then set in
- 11:58Speaker 3: the deck, replacing the card that it was supposed to be.
- 12:03Speaker 3: So I guess, but I mean I've never looked, but
- 12:07Speaker 3: even when you feel those foil cards, you sometimes can
- 12:11Speaker 3: tell which card is foil and a foil deck when
- 12:13Speaker 3: you shuffle it if it isn't sleeved, not just because
- 12:19Speaker 3: of the curve, but because the cut can be just
- 12:22Speaker 3: just a little bit different. It has a little bit
- 12:24Speaker 3: like of a different embossed edge feeling to it and
- 12:26Speaker 3: stuff too.
- 12:27Speaker 2: I guess it a little thicker, it could.
- 12:31Speaker 3: Be that might be what I'm feeling. So yeah, I mean, like, yes,
- 12:36Speaker 3: foils in this stuff, making them making it so we
- 12:41Speaker 3: can put it in decks that we actually play would
- 12:43Speaker 3: would be nice. And if it's going to be not
- 12:47Speaker 3: about putting the fancy cards in the decks you have
- 12:49Speaker 3: to play, then they have to open one of these
- 12:51Speaker 3: awful formats. Everybody else or some loud small minority is
- 12:56Speaker 3: asking for like a.
- 13:00Speaker 2: I don't know, you're very vocal on ac they are,
- 13:05Speaker 2: you think I don't know what else away.
- 13:09Speaker 3: No, because only people that disturbed are swoop sticking around
- 13:16Speaker 3: in general, like, everybody's still in key Forge has got
- 13:20Speaker 3: something wrong in their brain, whether it's something like adaptive
- 13:24Speaker 3: or whatever's wrong with us, right, but something wrong.
- 13:27Speaker 2: My daddy never came home with the milk.
- 13:29Speaker 3: Yeah right, so but yeah, like it is a little
- 13:33Speaker 3: disappointing to some extent. You know, I've collected one of
- 13:36Speaker 3: every back of everything I've mad able to get my
- 13:38Speaker 3: hands on, and now I'm collecting a bunch of foils,
- 13:41Speaker 3: and outside of having pretties to look at, they're functionally worthless.
- 13:47Speaker 2: And monetarily and monetarily, so I would be really if
- 13:53Speaker 2: you look at my.
- 13:54Speaker 3: Collection, it's worth negative twenty two dollars. You would have
- 13:58Speaker 3: to pay the shipping to give this to somebody.
- 14:01Speaker 2: It's probably less than that. I don't want to burst
- 14:06Speaker 2: your path.
- 14:07Speaker 3: Like, yeah, my collection of miss lay stuff, you would
- 14:09Speaker 3: have to pay the shipping to get somebody your ticket.
- 14:12Speaker 3: I don't think somebody would pay the shipping to have it.
- 14:17Speaker 2: I'd say I would, but I'm so close I probably wouldn't. Well,
- 14:22Speaker 2: the real question is if like how many full foil
- 14:29Speaker 2: decks that they sell. I'm curious.
- 14:31Speaker 3: Yeah, I will be annoyed if the back of the
- 14:34Speaker 3: full foil decks look different in anyway, because that is
- 14:37Speaker 3: something I've been collecting. But even that, I'm sure I'll
- 14:42Speaker 3: be able to get a crappy full foil for cheap
- 14:44Speaker 3: cheap enough.
- 14:45Speaker 2: Sure you will. I just still, you know it's again,
- 14:48Speaker 2: it's something we've talked about many, many times. I don't
- 14:51Speaker 2: understand why I even messaged Jeremy whatever I tell to him.
- 14:57Speaker 2: I was like, here's another free idea for me. Hands,
- 15:01Speaker 2: ye tiny hands, I said, here's another free, easy idea
- 15:06Speaker 2: for you. I don't know how easy it would be,
- 15:10Speaker 2: but deck name changes. I want my favorite love deck
- 15:14Speaker 2: to have blah blah blah call sign in it.
- 15:18Speaker 3: Hm, that's a back end database change thing.
- 15:25Speaker 2: Yeah. Again, don't know how easy that would be.
- 15:28Speaker 4: Yeah, I know I will they want.
- 15:31Speaker 2: I don't know that. I know a lot of people
- 15:33Speaker 2: that would probably pay about one hundred dollars to get
- 15:36Speaker 2: their favorite deck's name change to something with their call
- 15:40Speaker 2: sign in it. I would make your name.
- 15:46Speaker 4: You know, Wookie is going to get a deck that
- 15:47Speaker 4: just says butt spots butts.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Yep, but spots butts Butts likely would have to review it.
- 15:59Speaker 2: Right now, there is a.
- 16:00Speaker 3: Funny a funny thing in my mentality and mind you,
- 16:04Speaker 3: I have a relatively low value of things that are
- 16:12Speaker 3: algorithmically generated key Forge and the fact that it is
- 16:18Speaker 3: unique in some way makes it value, you know, like
- 16:23Speaker 3: you know how people are. They're like, oh, every deck's unique,
- 16:25Speaker 3: you gotta keep it. I don't care about that. I
- 16:27Speaker 3: don't care about the names. But something about naming the
- 16:31Speaker 3: deck after it's generated feels raw. It just doesn't feel right.
- 16:37Speaker 2: I agree.
- 16:38Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like on the same level as Alliance, right,
- 16:41Speaker 4: just not.
- 16:41Speaker 2: What You've never adopted a pattern changed its name, It
- 16:48Speaker 2: just kept the size.
- 16:52Speaker 3: No, definitely adopted changed his name.
- 16:56Speaker 2: The same thing, not the same thing. It's the same
- 16:58Speaker 2: thing now.
- 17:01Speaker 3: No, because it's like a created identity.
- 17:05Speaker 4: Adopt a human child and change their name.
- 17:07Speaker 3: Here's the thing. I've never got a rescue dog and
- 17:11Speaker 3: changed back to make it so the previous owner couldn't
- 17:16Speaker 3: track it. Are you equating humans the key Forge decks?
- 17:22Speaker 2: You know? Do you have a collection of humans in
- 17:25Speaker 2: your basement or what is there? Do we need to
- 17:27Speaker 2: make a phone call or my basement's great, just come
- 17:31Speaker 2: check it. Out. I promise pretty soon you'll see it.
- 17:34Speaker 2: It was local man as collection of humans in his basement.
- 17:39Speaker 2: Oh oh, butts written at its forehead. I don't know.
- 17:47Speaker 2: I just I thought a name change. Like I think
- 17:50Speaker 2: there'd be plenty of people out there that would pay
- 17:53Speaker 2: I said, fifty to one hundred dollars to change the
- 17:56Speaker 2: name on a deck.
- 17:58Speaker 4: I don't like, so like, I don't like the idea.
- 18:03Speaker 4: I don't like it because.
- 18:06Speaker 3: So do you know what? Do you know what I
- 18:10Speaker 3: would do with that? I know what I would do
- 18:13Speaker 3: with that. You would do something not yes, I would
- 18:17Speaker 3: intentionally like borrow Aria or something from x ray. I
- 18:21Speaker 3: would borrow something from x ray, x ray. Let me
- 18:23Speaker 3: play Browning. Oh you need to transfer to me ownership
- 18:26Speaker 3: for some reason, right because we're not for I don't know.
- 18:29Speaker 3: And then then while I own it, rename it with
- 18:34Speaker 3: a trolling name, and then give it back to them.
- 18:37Speaker 3: That's what I would use that feature for, is I
- 18:39Speaker 3: would really people's to horrible things and give it back.
- 18:44Speaker 4: That's like if you're if you're like going back through
- 18:47Speaker 4: the pages of history of key Forge, and you're like,
- 18:49Speaker 4: let me go find gas Mask gas Max.
- 18:54Speaker 3: Now it's named and now it's named Compacted d.
- 19:00Speaker 4: H exactly like that, right, Like, I don't know, Aria
- 19:06Speaker 4: Pylon Genius. That is not an amazing name. It's a
- 19:10Speaker 4: fine name, but like to just go and change it
- 19:15Speaker 4: feels like you're cheapening the the beauty of the unique
- 19:24Speaker 4: deck concept.
- 19:26Speaker 3: But I also wouldn't care if other people did it,
- 19:30Speaker 3: Like I'm not whatever, It's not something I would do.
- 19:37Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I don't.
- 19:39Speaker 2: I don't think.
- 19:40Speaker 3: Again, I'm the only way somebody would. Somebody would buy
- 19:45Speaker 3: a deck from me, and then I would spend the
- 19:47Speaker 3: money to change the name before I ship into I
- 19:51Speaker 3: would ever see doing with it.
- 19:53Speaker 4: Sell deck to JML and change the name to the
- 19:58Speaker 4: best Master Rule us.
- 20:01Speaker 3: Yes, this is the only way I see using this.
- 20:04Speaker 3: Well because I'm a child.
- 20:06Speaker 2: Yeah, well fine, speaking of printing decks and changing their names,
- 20:16Speaker 2: but you can't change your names. Will call decks now,
- 20:20Speaker 2: will call clone decks. So you are able to have
- 20:26Speaker 2: some decks printed up if you're looking for to pick
- 20:28Speaker 2: up some decks and pick them up at your friendly
- 20:32Speaker 2: local gaming store in Minnesota, i e. The Game center
- 20:36Speaker 2: at key Forge Celebration. Is there a discount for this
- 20:39Speaker 2: or I just don't have to pay shipping.
- 20:42Speaker 4: Oh, you don't have to pay shipping, which because that
- 20:45Speaker 4: I don't think a discount.
- 20:46Speaker 2: Is it guaranteed to be ready for me by the
- 20:49Speaker 2: time I get to the games center? If that's the yes,
- 20:55Speaker 2: I don't like that last time.
- 20:58Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the thing they shouldn't screw gg promise. Yeah
- 21:05Speaker 4: sometimes I would sometimes of shit, but like, this is
- 21:10Speaker 4: the sort of promise you really have to keep. If
- 21:12Speaker 4: somebody's like, I'm gonna show up without a deck because
- 21:15Speaker 4: it's waiting there for me, and they're like oops, Like no,
- 21:21Speaker 4: I disagree with persons demanding a refund.
- 21:23Speaker 2: And imagine if that deck that's your deck you're playing
- 21:28Speaker 2: in one of the opens.
- 21:31Speaker 1: I disagree about that. I mean, you can honestly see
- 21:34Speaker 1: they have a they have a cutoff date. It is
- 21:37Speaker 1: October twenty six, and so with that one hundred percent
- 21:44Speaker 1: they will be able to make sure happy there.
- 21:47Speaker 3: It's gonna be there's only gonna be thirty five cards
- 21:49Speaker 3: in your reprint deck. What did you do? It's happier
- 21:56Speaker 3: deck and half somebody else's deck.
- 21:59Speaker 1: I mean, I will say that Joshua I hadn't talked
- 22:01Speaker 1: about this, and it is really to try and get
- 22:04Speaker 1: around individuals who are showing up at tournaments and they
- 22:07Speaker 1: don't have ownership. In order to get it printed, you
- 22:10Speaker 1: have to have ownership. So I don't know. I like
- 22:13Speaker 1: this feature. I think it's a great feature. And if
- 22:15Speaker 1: it allows some people, or even if it's just one person,
- 22:18Speaker 1: I still think that's better for.
- 22:19Speaker 3: The internationals that are coming, or even the friend internationals
- 22:25Speaker 3: who have friends that are going. Because the Internet, I
- 22:28Speaker 3: can only imagine what the cost is to ship a
- 22:30Speaker 3: clone deck internationally.
- 22:32Speaker 1: Sure, I would also argue, I would also argue if
- 22:36Speaker 1: you're getting a if you're getting a deck from someone
- 22:39Speaker 1: who is international, it's much easier to transition that digitally
- 22:43Speaker 1: and then have it there for pickup.
- 22:45Speaker 2: So yes, also, and you don't have to play it.
- 22:49Speaker 2: And that language I still remember at a time there,
- 22:54Speaker 2: at one point in time, they are telling me that
- 22:56Speaker 2: all my decks had to be in the language of
- 22:58Speaker 2: the tournament, which would have been English.
- 23:00Speaker 1: But.
- 23:02Speaker 2: That that was a lie rule book. Right, No, that's
- 23:08Speaker 2: not in the rule book. We looked the not the
- 23:11Speaker 2: rule book, the whatever t RG Yeah, rules guidelines. It
- 23:19Speaker 2: has to be in the language of the tournament organizer
- 23:25Speaker 2: accepts or whatever.
- 23:27Speaker 4: Right, which didn't wasn't I want to say, was Spain
- 23:31Speaker 4: exercise that rule?
- 23:34Speaker 2: I remember that correct TV? No TV because they don't
- 23:39Speaker 2: have it. Okay, so it wasn't a language.
- 23:42Speaker 3: Okay, well and it Yeah it wasn't maybe because it
- 23:46Speaker 3: wasn't Spanish, because I don't know.
- 23:49Speaker 2: Yeah, they were angry at Sheep last year for taking seconds,
- 23:55Speaker 2: so they're like, if it's not in Spanish, you don't
- 23:57Speaker 2: get to play it. Get out which turn in the
- 24:00Speaker 2: low turnout?
- 24:01Speaker 3: Yeah? Well past your asses? Also, that wasn't there either
- 24:10Speaker 3: wash yeah, pastor ass one?
- 24:13Speaker 2: Oh did it? I don't know.
- 24:14Speaker 3: That's what beat me.
- 24:16Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm saying this year, not last year. Now
- 24:19Speaker 2: this year, yeah, not last year? All right, next, you're
- 24:27Speaker 2: so friendly today, just like mm hmmm, i'll see Q changes.
- 24:37Speaker 2: Previously it was going to be CE see it is
- 24:43Speaker 2: now sealed prophetic visions. That's what you'll be playing. Yeah, which.
- 24:53Speaker 3: I did not ask for this, for this change myself, alight.
- 24:58Speaker 4: So I did submit email, But this is not what
- 25:04Speaker 4: I asked for.
- 25:04Speaker 2: This is not what you had in mind.
- 25:08Speaker 4: I'd rather I would.
- 25:10Speaker 3: Rather play CC no powers. I think that would have
- 25:13Speaker 3: been good.
- 25:13Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no powers for sure. But but we knew
- 25:16Speaker 4: that that wasn't gonna happen, just except that.
- 25:18Speaker 3: You added something to the game that didn't need to
- 25:21Speaker 3: be there and just say Okay, we're not we're not
- 25:23Speaker 3: going to use it.
- 25:24Speaker 4: Yeah, but they're not. There's no way they're going to
- 25:27Speaker 4: do that, right, So, because that would be admitting that.
- 25:30Speaker 4: So what eyes met and they should do VM twenty
- 25:32Speaker 4: five because.
- 25:32Speaker 3: Everybody, but they don't have any and they're not going
- 25:37Speaker 3: to print more.
- 25:38Speaker 4: They could, they could do special, They could just run
- 25:41Speaker 4: when they do these clone decks.
- 25:43Speaker 3: Just there was a lot of rumors talk about fifty
- 25:47Speaker 3: boxes is the minimum print run is what I saw.
- 25:52Speaker 2: He owns the freaking company.
- 25:54Speaker 3: There's not Yeah box and the man says fifty box,
- 26:00Speaker 3: this is the minimum.
- 26:01Speaker 4: But they don't. So they don't when they print these
- 26:04Speaker 4: clone decks. There's no way they print fifty boxes worth right.
- 26:08Speaker 3: The different way just a special difference between clone decks,
- 26:12Speaker 3: and that is packaging. Now, yep, they wouldn't. They don't
- 26:17Speaker 3: actually need to package the VM twenty five.
- 26:19Speaker 4: They're just putting in.
- 26:22Speaker 3: Hey, I'm not just saying what I saw people talking about,
- 26:27Speaker 3: but I think if one hundred and fifty people came
- 26:31Speaker 3: and they printed fifty If that's all it was, was
- 26:34Speaker 3: fifty more boxes and a third of that's going to
- 26:38Speaker 3: be used as the pre sold sealed, I don't think
- 26:41Speaker 3: they'd have any problem selling approximately a third of a
- 26:45Speaker 3: box to every other player that's there. You know, if that,
- 26:49Speaker 3: you know, if they printed fifty four and said, you know,
- 26:52Speaker 3: we only have fifty more boxes as much as used
- 26:55Speaker 3: for the sealed and the rest of it's for, I
- 26:57Speaker 3: don't I don't think they would have a problem selling that.
- 26:59Speaker 3: It can AFC.
- 27:02Speaker 4: Yeah, so fifty I don't even if fifty right, if
- 27:08Speaker 4: fifty boxes is the real number, I don't know it
- 27:11Speaker 4: is six. Let's pretend it is like, let's pretend like
- 27:14Speaker 4: we know things, because that's what we normally do. So
- 27:18Speaker 4: this is six hundred decks, right.
- 27:20Speaker 3: And you figure three one hundred and fifty people actually
- 27:25Speaker 3: showed up. Four hundred and fifty of those decks would
- 27:29Speaker 3: already be gone in the LCQ. Yeah, that's only one
- 27:33Speaker 3: hundred and fifty decks left to sell. It's only one
- 27:34Speaker 3: per person. Just make it the goodie bag deck and
- 27:38Speaker 3: they're all gone already.
- 27:39Speaker 2: Are we already getting Vault Master twenty four in a
- 27:41Speaker 2: goodie Bag Deck.
- 27:43Speaker 3: Twenty Yeah, twenty four, not twenty five twenty four because
- 27:50Speaker 3: they still have a lunch of twenty four because it
- 27:52Speaker 3: didn't sell as well because the set was good set
- 27:57Speaker 3: quater they you know, like, I get that it's hard
- 28:02Speaker 3: to judge set quality early.
- 28:06Speaker 2: I get that that's not easy.
- 28:07Speaker 4: But they should be trying. They should be striving to
- 28:11Speaker 4: understand them, not be like, wait, what do you mean?
- 28:13Speaker 2: Set quality is important?
- 28:15Speaker 3: Like we thought, we thought just making something neat and
- 28:19Speaker 3: exclusive would make it valuable. That works for Magic the Gathering.
- 28:23Speaker 2: Yeah, except the problem is is normally when Magic the
- 28:26Speaker 2: Gathering is all something expensive, it's not only unique and exclusive,
- 28:33Speaker 2: it's also powerful.
- 28:36Speaker 3: A bunch of that treasure stuff, isn't that secret layers.
- 28:42Speaker 2: That's a lot of special treatment stuff with Yeah, but
- 28:47Speaker 2: a lot of that is powerful stuff. But some some
- 28:51Speaker 2: of that is also like Sonic the Hedgehog's it's also
- 28:59Speaker 2: like a third party. Uh ips that nine times out
- 29:06Speaker 2: of ten, like when they did all the Lord of
- 29:08Speaker 2: the Rings stuff. So I'm sure a lot of Lord
- 29:11Speaker 2: of the Rings guys who are really into Lord of
- 29:13Speaker 2: the Rings bought it up. So yeah, I don't know, Yeah,
- 29:18Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 29:19Speaker 3: But yeah, so they need to make a Lord of
- 29:21Speaker 3: the Forge.
- 29:24Speaker 2: Lord of the Rings game in their art and they're
- 29:27Speaker 2: already with Magic, so.
- 29:30Speaker 4: So I know some people would hate yeah, but I did.
- 29:33Speaker 4: I do feel like if Magic hadn't argued on it, it.
- 29:39Speaker 2: Would have fit in really well with the Goofy Like listen,
- 29:44Speaker 2: anything really kind of fits into this game, right that, well, yeah,
- 29:48Speaker 2: that's how they did it, right.
- 29:49Speaker 3: So, I mean, I think they do like Hannah Barbara
- 29:52Speaker 3: World and.
- 29:54Speaker 2: You could definitely get an ip and kind of slap
- 29:58Speaker 2: it in this game.
- 29:59Speaker 4: Right about talking about thunder Road Vendetta before, Like we
- 30:04Speaker 4: need like freaking like Mad Max, right.
- 30:07Speaker 3: A Mad Max house.
- 30:09Speaker 2: You could do a Mad Max style set.
- 30:11Speaker 4: It doesn't even have to be officially Mad Max, right,
- 30:16Speaker 4: all right, Louk, get on that one.
- 30:18Speaker 2: Just a Mad Max style just.
- 30:20Speaker 4: Like make vehicles actually good.
- 30:22Speaker 2: A house that really is into yeah, vehicles and going fast, yeah,
- 30:31Speaker 2: just pedal, pedal all to the metal speed freak orcs
- 30:36Speaker 2: yeah or yeah, it could be like an Orcish type deal.
- 30:39Speaker 2: And but every now and then to go boom.
- 30:43Speaker 3: Like all of all of the factions from Warhammer would
- 30:46Speaker 3: fit just fine in.
- 30:48Speaker 2: The but already done by Magic. I'm awaited magic already scooped.
- 30:55Speaker 3: Not really, they just did a few cards. I guess
- 30:59Speaker 3: they did a load of the Ring set, but.
- 31:01Speaker 2: A lot of those I don't know where the licenses lie, right,
- 31:05Speaker 2: and I we can't get them to figure out to
- 31:10Speaker 2: spend a few bucks.
- 31:11Speaker 3: Yeah, people don't advertise.
- 31:14Speaker 2: Could you couldn't you imagine one going hey, how much
- 31:17Speaker 2: to use the Warhammer forty k ip and then immediately
- 31:23Speaker 2: watch CTP of a Stroke.
- 31:25Speaker 3: So I think when they originally designed the key Ford
- 31:29Speaker 3: DWorld and the weak storyline that exists, have that in
- 31:35Speaker 3: mind though, where they're like, hey, if this is really
- 31:38Speaker 3: good and we get you know, when we buy licenses
- 31:41Speaker 3: or get licenses to make them in card games, we
- 31:44Speaker 3: can stick anything into this game without making it a
- 31:52Speaker 3: third party set, you know, like some games where they'll
- 31:55Speaker 3: do that, they're like, oh, here's the base game and
- 31:57Speaker 3: oh here's a themed version. They're not really meant to
- 31:59Speaker 3: be mixed. Where in key Forge you still doesn't matter.
- 32:03Speaker 3: But any theme and just been like there's a house
- 32:06Speaker 3: go maybe one? Yeah, right, and maybe it only ever
- 32:12Speaker 3: shows up in one set and you never see it again,
- 32:14Speaker 3: But who really cares because functionally that doesn't matter We'll.
- 32:19Speaker 2: Have a storyline event that you think you have power
- 32:22Speaker 2: on that you actually don't go that.
- 32:25Speaker 3: I'm telling you that is just good storytelling, a good
- 32:30Speaker 3: dungeon mastering, game mastering.
- 32:34Speaker 2: Dah dungeon mass.
- 32:35Speaker 3: You have to believe you have free will.
- 32:38Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't actually have to the rails you have
- 32:42Speaker 2: free will? Yeah?
- 32:45Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 32:48Speaker 2: Anyway, Uh, the three three point five million deck, that's right,
- 32:57Speaker 2: we've crossed the three million, fived thousand mark of decks registered.
- 33:04Speaker 2: That's right on on the master vault. That's crazy, is it? Yep?
- 33:11Speaker 3: True that it's only thirty one thousand TV decks.
- 33:16Speaker 2: We didn't dig that.
- 33:18Speaker 3: Thaters.
- 33:21Speaker 2: I don't know how would we even figure that outd okay, right.
- 33:25Speaker 1: We do have.
- 33:29Speaker 2: Walk back go I choose you?
- 33:34Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty thousand second Yeah, there's a.
- 33:38Speaker 4: Thirty thousand, five hundred seventy three TV decks in d
- 33:42Speaker 4: ok right now, okay, which is there's only seventeen hundred
- 33:51Speaker 4: pc how many discovery Actually this is an interesting question.
- 33:56Speaker 4: Seven there's only two thousand, three hundred thirty nine Discovery decks. Wow,
- 34:01Speaker 4: because although I guess these are folks who aren't well,
- 34:05Speaker 4: but now that I'm saying that this is targeting a
- 34:09Speaker 4: population who may not be scanning their decks, so that's
- 34:12Speaker 4: probably underrepresenting more than other sets.
- 34:17Speaker 3: Probably that Now, how the hell does that even work?
- 34:22Speaker 2: How the hell is what even work? So you get
- 34:25Speaker 2: a deck.
- 34:26Speaker 1: Thirty one camera the decks, okay to the camera two.
- 34:35Speaker 3: The last game found was two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, right, Like,
- 34:44Speaker 3: there were ten so five grand of that was was
- 34:51Speaker 3: just for the art. So that's two hundred and forty
- 34:54Speaker 3: five thousand. The average price of the deck during that
- 34:58Speaker 3: game found was something like eight and a half bucks.
- 35:02Speaker 3: I think, where are you going with this? I guess
- 35:08Speaker 3: that would mean up somewhere around twenty five twenty six
- 35:12Speaker 3: thousand dollars decks. Twenty five thousand decks were sold during
- 35:17Speaker 3: the game found. That that sounds high actually, but maybe.
- 35:26Speaker 2: There's a lot of game found decks that I think
- 35:28Speaker 2: that also aren't opened yet either.
- 35:31Speaker 3: Well, but they're only thirty one thousand, so if and
- 35:34Speaker 3: we know it's not one hundred percent, but that means
- 35:36Speaker 3: there's only like five or six thousand decks through retail.
- 35:41Speaker 2: By like.
- 35:45Speaker 3: Looking at a bad a bad way of looking at it.
- 35:48Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, we still don't know scan rates really.
- 35:51Speaker 3: Right, And that's that's actually what I'm wondering. I'm like,
- 35:53Speaker 3: how bad are scan rates?
- 35:57Speaker 4: I mean, how many decks do you scan? What percentage
- 35:59Speaker 4: do you scan that you open sheep?
- 36:02Speaker 3: I scan nearly one hundred percent?
- 36:05Speaker 1: Really, m he doesn't keep the decks, but he skins.
- 36:09Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't add him the decks of ty Forge.
- 36:11Speaker 4: In my mind, I still find decks in bags and
- 36:14Speaker 4: I'm like, why the hell is there a decade here
- 36:15Speaker 4: without back? And she goes like, oh, I brought this
- 36:17Speaker 4: to some event sheep was nearby.
- 36:23Speaker 2: If sheep's nearby, you might find her.
- 36:27Speaker 3: Sometimes sometimes that will be so bad I won't even
- 36:30Speaker 3: bother scanning it, but I would say I'm ninety percent
- 36:33Speaker 3: scan right.
- 36:36Speaker 4: You Walk, I screwed up my mission, by the way,
- 36:38Speaker 4: Uh the mission I told you about, you Walk, I.
- 36:42Speaker 2: Messed that up.
- 36:44Speaker 1: Sorry, man, we had a deal. I know, I forget,
- 36:48Speaker 1: I forgive you.
- 36:49Speaker 3: My thought is what I'm just coming up with. The
- 36:53Speaker 3: math I am looking at is so there's thirty one
- 36:56Speaker 3: thousand decks, but let's just use that as our number.
- 37:00Speaker 3: What do you think the average SCR scan rate on
- 37:02Speaker 3: decks is? Now, it's gotta be higher than the fifty
- 37:05Speaker 3: percent it used to be.
- 37:07Speaker 1: Just because the people who are playing are.
- 37:09Speaker 2: Because the people who are still sixty five.
- 37:15Speaker 3: Higher maybe I don't know, Okay, okay, sixty five That
- 37:18Speaker 3: puts us at forty seven thousand and six ninety two
- 37:22Speaker 3: decks they make what do you think they make a deck?
- 37:26Speaker 3: Five six bucks?
- 37:27Speaker 5: The world will never know, like actual money they can make. Yeah, well,
- 37:40Speaker 5: if you say.
- 37:41Speaker 3: Five dollars, that's two hundred and thirty eight thousand dollars.
- 37:51Speaker 3: That's revenue approximate, approximate, and then out of that fifty
- 37:57Speaker 3: grand goes to Josh, fifty grand goes to Luke.
- 38:03Speaker 2: Excuse me, sir, Josh fifty.
- 38:07Speaker 3: Whatever, twenty thousand dollars goes to other people that do
- 38:12Speaker 3: key forge work. That's one hundred and eighteen thousand dollars
- 38:17Speaker 3: left before company, before stuff is taxed, lights are turned on,
- 38:27Speaker 3: you know, Like wow, Now like it's this should still
- 38:31Speaker 3: be then text, right, because we're saying you make about
- 38:34Speaker 3: five bucks a deck that includes you paid well, I
- 38:38Speaker 3: don't know, maybe that even should include the cost of
- 38:40Speaker 3: the employees. Who knows, and it's hard to say what
- 38:45Speaker 3: that number is looking at all those but just when
- 38:48Speaker 3: you get down to it, and there isn't there's definitely
- 38:52Speaker 3: not hundreds of thousands of key Forge dollars to spend
- 38:56Speaker 3: on doing things. There might be, there might be tens
- 39:00Speaker 3: of thousands.
- 39:01Speaker 4: I mean, that's probably why they reduce the number of
- 39:04Speaker 4: like custom decks you can get in a campaign, right yeah.
- 39:08Speaker 3: And then uh yeah, and then you know, Peterson's got
- 39:12Speaker 3: to make his next boat payment, so yeah, there's.
- 39:16Speaker 4: He's probably losing money.
- 39:17Speaker 2: Honestly, maybe what do you think is that is.
- 39:24Speaker 3: I'm just I'm just looking at the economics, you know,
- 39:26Speaker 3: like I start to see this and I go, well, yeah,
- 39:29Speaker 3: you know, like you can understand why they make decisions
- 39:33Speaker 3: that don't cost the company significant amounts of money, and
- 39:38Speaker 3: you know, like you start looking at these numbers, four
- 39:40Speaker 3: or five, ten grand is not insignificant number of dollars potentially.
- 39:46Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that can make or break your profitability
- 39:50Speaker 4: for the year.
- 39:51Speaker 2: He's got to sell this company in seven years, how considered.
- 39:57Speaker 4: I don't know that he does, Like he's kind of
- 39:59Speaker 4: his he's good, right, well, but he has he made
- 40:04Speaker 4: his money. He's doing this because he actually likes it.
- 40:08Speaker 3: Or he wants to make more money. Yeah, he's sure,
- 40:12Speaker 3: but you know, there are a lot of people that
- 40:15Speaker 3: are that way.
- 40:16Speaker 4: But if you would be.
- 40:19Speaker 3: Strange Stars next time, Eric.
- 40:22Speaker 2: That there would be a whole different, whole different jam. Yeah,
- 40:26Speaker 2: he owns the games Enter too, But that's that's a
- 40:29Speaker 2: whole different ball away, Like that's a totally different that's
- 40:32Speaker 2: a totally different uh line item on the Strange Stars.
- 40:38Speaker 3: I don't even know if that's in that family now,
- 40:40Speaker 3: it might not be. Yeah, the the inner business workings
- 40:46Speaker 3: of all that is is all very mysterious and murky, and.
- 40:50Speaker 2: One's got to run ass so he doesn't have to
- 40:52Speaker 2: pay taxes.
- 40:55Speaker 4: Well, but then you have to. Yeah, there's all sorts
- 40:58Speaker 4: of rules how he set up very operations and I
- 41:00Speaker 4: don't pretend to understand them, but yeah, which ones you
- 41:04Speaker 4: can run without.
- 41:05Speaker 2: Making a profit? Which one's like.
- 41:08Speaker 4: Yeah, who knows certain one.
- 41:11Speaker 2: But I don't think they're making money, right, So I
- 41:16Speaker 2: would say they're making I would say they're doing okay.
- 41:21Speaker 2: I don't think they're like raking it in right like
- 41:24Speaker 2: a suckers.
- 41:25Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean clearly they're making enough to pay the employees,
- 41:31Speaker 3: doing okay and keep CTP interested, right, which is why
- 41:37Speaker 3: we get to keep having sets because once one of
- 41:39Speaker 3: those things doesn't happen, Bill's not paid or CTP board,
- 41:44Speaker 3: then uh, you know, maybe this doesn't carry on another thing.
- 41:47Speaker 2: Yeah, then we go down.
- 41:50Speaker 3: Well we're going there anyways, but well we're not.
- 41:52Speaker 4: You know, it's listening to us fools that keeps them going, right,
- 41:56Speaker 4: It's like that it is. But if I keep rid
- 41:59Speaker 4: of this game, those boards will keep talking.
- 42:02Speaker 2: Yeah we should. We should reintroduce you to CTP this year.
- 42:07Speaker 2: Be like, oh this is Das car.
- 42:09Speaker 4: Well did I tell you about the time I don't know,
- 42:12Speaker 4: I find.
- 42:12Speaker 2: Something on the cast told me one time you're in Rochester?
- 42:17Speaker 2: What was that last year? Yeah?
- 42:21Speaker 4: I think so. Like I saw him at the bar,
- 42:23Speaker 4: like at the hotel before. So I went over and
- 42:26Speaker 4: like said hi to him and started talking to him,
- 42:30Speaker 4: and uh, like Josh comes, Its like, oh, this is
- 42:35Speaker 4: dress Corps. To be like, just realize who you're talking to.
- 42:40Speaker 4: So you a nice move, Josh, to help your boss
- 42:42Speaker 4: out what conversation. Enjoy This is Dras Corps. So that
- 42:52Speaker 4: you say to this fool is basically what Josh was saying.
- 42:54Speaker 2: He's the next one that can make or break your game.
- 42:57Speaker 2: Found camp Fit campaign I mean not act. No, No,
- 43:02Speaker 2: some people think we have that kind of power. It's
- 43:06Speaker 2: not true, any of it. Unlike Star Wars, it's not
- 43:10Speaker 2: if you have no power. We have no power. People
- 43:15Speaker 2: listen to you and they're like, yeah, not on the
- 43:18Speaker 2: good ship. It's always the bad stuff they listened to
- 43:21Speaker 2: us on. Right, Well, no, I mean, I don't know.
- 43:28Speaker 2: I guess you guys aren't as excited about I'm well again,
- 43:33Speaker 2: I would have been more than happy with CC with
- 43:35Speaker 2: no ARCon powers, because the CC set itself is pretty fine, right,
- 43:40Speaker 2: there's nothing inherently like to busted in it except for
- 43:45Speaker 2: the damn ARCon powers. So I would have been more
- 43:49Speaker 2: than okay with just no CC with no powers. But
- 43:52Speaker 2: I guess we're going to prophetic visions.
- 43:56Speaker 3: I'm finely, It's just it's just two days in a row.
- 44:02Speaker 1: I think that that is the That is what we
- 44:05Speaker 1: were talking about at Local Cheap. Is that because it's
- 44:07Speaker 1: back to back days, that's where it hits a little
- 44:10Speaker 1: bit harder. Where Yes, I agree about that.
- 44:13Speaker 3: At least you're finishing each day out before you start
- 44:15Speaker 3: the next, so it's not like you're like starting the
- 44:18Speaker 3: next day and your brain's still on your like, you know,
- 44:21Speaker 3: final cut neck from the previous day, and you're starting
- 44:23Speaker 3: to make decisions and you're like, ah, even that people
- 44:25Speaker 3: are gonna do that, They're gonna have the same house.
- 44:27Speaker 3: They're like, Oh, all I need to do is draw
- 44:29Speaker 3: my d to be like, oh crap, that was yesterday.
- 44:30Speaker 3: I had that garden.
- 44:31Speaker 4: Oh no, I don't have grafted my whole deck. I'm
- 44:38Speaker 4: not even playing ship.
- 44:44Speaker 2: I have not getting this set. Just me that's had that,
- 44:48Speaker 2: that had that experience, got it all right, Wookie? Wookie,
- 44:55Speaker 2: you wants to talk about Belgian nationals?
- 44:58Speaker 1: Yeah, rehab about this.
- 45:03Speaker 2: Week that was the Dutch.
- 45:06Speaker 1: Yeah, so we had Dutch nationals, but Dutch Belgium.
- 45:12Speaker 2: I mean, these things are the same.
- 45:14Speaker 1: So what was interesting is last weekend was October fourth, fifth,
- 45:20Speaker 1: so you had both Belgium nationals and Italian nationals. I
- 45:24Speaker 1: did not actually see anything for Italian nationals. I don't
- 45:26Speaker 1: know if it was just me. I was trying to
- 45:28Speaker 1: look around.
- 45:28Speaker 2: I just want to go on the record right now.
- 45:31Speaker 2: The only we told we said on this show, if
- 45:34Speaker 2: you want your own little section, let us know. The
- 45:39Speaker 2: only people who spoke up the Canadians, So they got
- 45:43Speaker 2: their own section just saying, just saying Canadians.
- 45:47Speaker 1: Nosy Canadians.
- 45:48Speaker 2: Hey, that's fine. They said they wanted their own section.
- 45:50Speaker 2: They got even though like they got their own section
- 45:52Speaker 2: like days before their nationals. But either way, they wanted
- 45:55Speaker 2: their own sect. They got the right sections.
- 45:58Speaker 3: That got to be a very active channel for a
- 46:01Speaker 3: little bit.
- 46:01Speaker 2: Yeah they got they got their own section, which is fine.
- 46:05Speaker 2: It's cool and they had fun in it, so I
- 46:09Speaker 2: got to blow that up down.
- 46:11Speaker 1: But regardless, congrats to Ellie Mack, who is your Arkhan
- 46:16Speaker 1: national champion for Belgium and is bet for your Belgian
- 46:20Speaker 1: Alliance national champion. I was trying to find more information there,
- 46:24Speaker 1: but I did not see anything for the Italian, which
- 46:27Speaker 1: is interesting. Shut out. No, actually Belgium and yeah go ahead.
- 46:34Speaker 1: Belgian and Italian are not updated just yet. But I
- 46:39Speaker 1: will say that Hong Kong is coming up this weekend,
- 46:42Speaker 1: so last minute flight guys, Hong Kong on October twelve.
- 46:47Speaker 1: M Evansville. That's what I was gonna say, Just go
- 46:51Speaker 1: to Avansze, which I would definitely go. Unfortunately, I'm velmed.
- 46:55Speaker 1: Evansville is now out for me as my two kids
- 46:59Speaker 1: have both gotten sick. We had one out the last
- 47:02Speaker 1: three days and one went vomited everywhere today. I hope
- 47:09Speaker 1: you feel about it. No, not not nice when it's
- 47:11Speaker 1: at school.
- 47:12Speaker 3: So Belgian Nationals only like six or eight people.
- 47:18Speaker 1: I was trying to I had more information, I had it.
- 47:21Speaker 3: Marked, and I'm looking at some pictures of it in
- 47:24Speaker 3: the NKFL server and they're saying little national event in
- 47:28Speaker 3: Belgian today starting with ARCon and there are pictures of
- 47:31Speaker 3: like maybe eight players mm hmmm nine nine in Alliance
- 47:42Speaker 3: and nine in ARCon, so.
- 47:44Speaker 2: The same nine yeah, nine in sealed. See these are
- 47:50Speaker 2: the type of events I need to go to. You
- 47:54Speaker 2: can get my sealed invite, I think.
- 47:59Speaker 1: So state Yeah, top four ARCon where Eli mac Gi,
- 48:05Speaker 1: Latinos Antonio and then is fat You.
- 48:08Speaker 2: Know what would be nice if those because here there's.
- 48:12Speaker 3: Here's the UK national.
- 48:14Speaker 1: And nine and nine an Alliance. Uh was actually more
- 48:20Speaker 1: than the Canadian Nationals, right.
- 48:24Speaker 2: For Alliance. Canadian Nationals was small this year.
- 48:27Speaker 1: Well, Canadian Nationals for Alliance only had five because they
- 48:31Speaker 1: staggered it and you had multiple players who were going
- 48:34Speaker 1: to play but were too oh for sealed and so
- 48:36Speaker 1: they kept playing and sealed.
- 48:38Speaker 3: Mm hmm yeah yeah yeah. So there was the UK
- 48:42Speaker 3: Nationals too, which conta Kelly and Battel. It looks like
- 48:47Speaker 3: we're second and first for Alliance and Colosi and Fire
- 48:54Speaker 3: and Stuart. Maybe we're ARCon. It's hard to tell for sure.
- 49:00Speaker 1: You're saying for UK UK was September twenty sixth through
- 49:03Speaker 1: twenty eight, so that arkonnor kind of actually has ever.
- 49:06Speaker 3: Even touched on that one?
- 49:07Speaker 2: Did we Which one one.
- 49:10Speaker 3: Of those days that wasn't paying attentional?
- 49:11Speaker 2: I think so?
- 49:12Speaker 1: Yeah? The ARCon was, Yeah, mister Slogan's your runner up
- 49:18Speaker 1: was Callos and then for Alliance, Yeah, what is it?
- 49:25Speaker 1: Yas Kimagen as your champion and then Konsie Kelly for
- 49:29Speaker 1: runner up and then Jim twenty three thirty for Sealeds
- 49:33Speaker 1: runner up. You know, yeah, new names there actually, Actually,
- 49:40Speaker 1: I will argue United Kingdom had some of the better
- 49:43Speaker 1: nationals here twenty six, twenty five and thirty pretty good. No, yeah,
- 49:48Speaker 1: that's much better. You're also again being able to play
- 49:51Speaker 1: them on different days, I think helps.
- 49:55Speaker 3: Well. I did just reach out to our Italian to
- 49:57Speaker 3: see if I can get any information on Italy.
- 50:02Speaker 2: That's right, we have an Italian. We've got a couple
- 50:04Speaker 2: of them, don't we.
- 50:07Speaker 4: Actually?
- 50:07Speaker 1: Then looking at Sweden, I don't think we talked Sweden either, boys,
- 50:10Speaker 1: because that would have been the twenty six, twenty eighth
- 50:12Speaker 1: of September as well.
- 50:14Speaker 4: Maybe I don't know, ye know, I'm looking at the
- 50:18Speaker 4: deck that won our con deck that won UK. The
- 50:22Speaker 4: footman that purchases the church, which is a great name, right,
- 50:28Speaker 4: and if you just made that up and type it
- 50:30Speaker 4: church cool, right, but atrocity right, seeing some atrocity, double foreseer,
- 50:39Speaker 4: triple parallel thinking. Okay, but the cyberclone is nice. The
- 50:45Speaker 4: double chummy is is pretty nice, with the dispipped miasma
- 50:53Speaker 4: is pretty nice. It's got the guess what house I'm
- 50:57Speaker 4: thinking of the prophecy, right, which is and yeah and
- 51:03Speaker 4: signs point yes right, so yeah, the guess what house
- 51:10Speaker 4: I'm thinking of is the way to win the game
- 51:12Speaker 4: right by Randa luck right, it's pretty often so it's
- 51:21Speaker 4: got that right, That's pretty important. Um, so it seems solid.
- 51:28Speaker 4: We'll give to Ember. Dramatic echo.
- 51:31Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems solid.
- 51:32Speaker 4: Doesn't seem oppressive, but.
- 51:41Speaker 2: But solid to me.
- 51:46Speaker 4: Mhmm, Well it's got some see Gouda Gras cyber clone
- 51:51Speaker 4: double give to Ember. Yeah, brutal consequences.
- 51:55Speaker 2: God, no, I got nothing. I'm uh, I'm ready to
- 51:59Speaker 2: put a ball on this. I don't know about you guys.
- 52:03Speaker 4: Not going shadows tonight.
- 52:04Speaker 2: We've gone fits an hour already.
- 52:08Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, I will say I will say while
- 52:11Speaker 1: we're here, because we didn't cover it. Our counter candidate
- 52:14Speaker 1: actually does have the write up for or has who's
- 52:17Speaker 1: listed for Sweden? So Sweden nationals ran twenty six to
- 52:22Speaker 1: twenty eighth, and you have Candika. Actually you have both
- 52:26Speaker 1: Jonas and Christopher, and that was your ARCon winner. So
- 52:31Speaker 1: birth first and second, and then Alliance you had Christopher
- 52:36Speaker 1: and Jonas and then for sealed we're seeing and Jonas,
- 52:42Speaker 1: look at that. That's clean? Sweet?
- 52:45Speaker 3: Was there two people at it?
- 52:47Speaker 1: No, there was ten, four and ten respectively, so ten total.
- 52:53Speaker 3: Four for Alliance, four for Alliance, even when's your only choice. Nah.
- 53:03Speaker 2: Yeah, weird how we still have for Las Vegas, Like
- 53:10Speaker 2: there's a deck in here for Las Vegas and our
- 53:13Speaker 2: kind kind of.
- 53:16Speaker 3: I mean there's definitely a link of the eight.
- 53:22Speaker 2: I'm not an Alliance decks. I got our conde.
- 53:27Speaker 3: You know what, it turns out there's nobody that's interested
- 53:31Speaker 3: in trying to collect the alliance information like live at
- 53:36Speaker 3: the event.
- 53:37Speaker 2: It's just such a trying to fucking judge.
- 53:42Speaker 3: Well, that's when he releases the article. They'll be in
- 53:45Speaker 3: the article.
- 53:47Speaker 2: What article?
- 53:50Speaker 3: When they do the recap article?
- 53:53Speaker 2: Did we not recap? Uh?
- 53:56Speaker 4: When g G.
- 53:58Speaker 3: Rights there article, then they will release the deck list.
- 54:03Speaker 3: The stuff that's in there right now is what we
- 54:06Speaker 3: collected on the.
- 54:07Speaker 2: Ground as collected. Have we not done an article on Vegas?
- 54:12Speaker 1: No?
- 54:13Speaker 2: So really released one? No they didn't.
- 54:17Speaker 1: You can go that's that's easy enough to be able
- 54:19Speaker 1: to check for it's not there.
- 54:24Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 54:25Speaker 1: So I mean, well, I will go ahead, and.
- 54:30Speaker 3: I've been kind of busy with this game found thing
- 54:33Speaker 3: we're getting ready for, getting ready for.
- 54:35Speaker 2: The world results from certain Darkness. Do we know the
- 54:42Speaker 2: results of this are the results? No?
- 54:47Speaker 4: Yeah, we're doing another one in uh what you.
- 54:53Speaker 3: Can report all of this month? So I have to
- 54:57Speaker 3: still report this now where we we are going to
- 55:01Speaker 3: run and report more.
- 55:03Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking of which I got to create a signup
- 55:05Speaker 4: link for.
- 55:06Speaker 1: I will go ahead and say that it was a
- 55:09Speaker 1: shame just the stream for Vegas that ARCon did not
- 55:14Speaker 1: get the attention that it needed. We desperately run two
- 55:19Speaker 1: separate streams or have them so that you can go
- 55:21Speaker 1: ahead and.
- 55:23Speaker 3: Or can push whatever agenda they want. And they want
- 55:26Speaker 3: to keep pushing Alliance as the premiere format. They don't
- 55:30Speaker 3: want to make it a thing, so they're gonna shove
- 55:32Speaker 3: it down you.
- 55:34Speaker 1: I don't I don't think that was the reason I
- 55:36Speaker 1: think that they were. I don't think that was the
- 55:38Speaker 1: reason why it was shown over Arkon for Vegas.
- 55:41Speaker 4: But they start because they I think it's because they
- 55:47Speaker 4: had they started Top four.
- 55:50Speaker 1: Right yes, for Alliance, and they thought that it would
- 55:52Speaker 1: be finished early, and instead it ran very and Arkon
- 55:56Speaker 1: was what finished quicker.
- 55:58Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, in my experience, it's not a we're trying
- 56:01Speaker 2: to push it type deal. It's well, we can get
- 56:04Speaker 2: them both and then it just either it happens or
- 56:07Speaker 2: it doesn't.
- 56:09Speaker 1: I mean, the short answer is.
- 56:11Speaker 4: The timing doesn't link up, right.
- 56:13Speaker 2: That's where.
- 56:15Speaker 1: The short answer is that we just have, especially at
- 56:17Speaker 1: these top tables, we need to be able to show
- 56:21Speaker 1: the games and get any publicity out there. So record it.
- 56:24Speaker 1: Go ahead. You can pour it in into two separate
- 56:27Speaker 1: streams if you need to.
- 56:29Speaker 2: Even if it's you can do the same screen picture
- 56:31Speaker 2: and picture. I mean, this is this is.
- 56:34Speaker 3: There's already not enough room to see what's going on.
- 56:37Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean that's why I was saying that
- 56:39Speaker 1: you can click on which one.
- 56:41Speaker 2: You want maybe this time.
- 56:42Speaker 3: And if they wanted to record two games, they would
- 56:44Speaker 3: have to bring twice as many cameras and recording setups.
- 56:47Speaker 2: It's literally another why frame and another expender in another camera.
- 56:55Speaker 3: Would we just talk about how the's going to spend
- 56:57Speaker 3: any more money.
- 56:59Speaker 2: I don't think they spent any money on this setup
- 57:01Speaker 2: in the first place. I think this is just what
- 57:03Speaker 2: Josh has already owns.
- 57:06Speaker 3: Last week, did you guys talk about this? Uh? Davidy
- 57:11Speaker 3: Bourne and Fish previews?
- 57:15Speaker 1: Yeah, he ran through all the previous I didn't think
- 57:18Speaker 1: you're going to.
- 57:19Speaker 3: I just want to add I've just went through them
- 57:23Speaker 3: and this is sad and miserable looking in my mind
- 57:26Speaker 3: it is.
- 57:27Speaker 2: I believe we already said that it was question by
- 57:30Speaker 2: two thousand dollars.
- 57:32Speaker 3: Yeah, you you just bought. You just bought tired Fish
- 57:35Speaker 3: and boring sky thing East Yep, good job. H I
- 57:45Speaker 3: mean they could still put the good cards in. They
- 57:47Speaker 3: could still sneak befunneling, could well.
- 57:49Speaker 4: I mean we we thought it looked TV looked bad,
- 57:52Speaker 4: but then it turned out.
- 57:54Speaker 2: The right house. Well hold on, oh no, this will
- 57:59Speaker 2: site got a full art nerman.
- 58:00Speaker 3: Yeah, Abistle site fine, But I tell you what, Abistle
- 58:06Speaker 3: site without bonus token creature generation is not as exciting
- 58:11Speaker 3: of a card because it has a higher cost, because
- 58:19Speaker 3: it's functionally costing you a full mother card every time,
- 58:22Speaker 3: where traditionally in the Senate was in you could pitch
- 58:27Speaker 3: a low value token.
- 58:29Speaker 2: How was it Abiso site not transpar Look at this
- 58:34Speaker 2: lady's legs. Her legs do not match her towards the
- 58:38Speaker 2: rest of her body. Her legs go all the way
- 58:44Speaker 2: to the bottom of that card. Look at where her
- 58:46Speaker 2: knees are. How was that not the one that like,
- 58:52Speaker 2: everyone's like that looks funny? It was a Bistle site.
- 58:56Speaker 4: Well, it's it's the there's like certain artifacts that are
- 59:01Speaker 4: common in.
- 59:07Speaker 2: I mean honestly, like and yeah, even like this just
- 59:12Speaker 2: looks like extended art. And then they did like it's
- 59:15Speaker 2: starry night background. Same thing with like against a flags
- 59:19Speaker 2: that just looks like a boom background. This one definitely.
- 59:25Speaker 3: I'm looking at these full art cards for the first
- 59:27Speaker 3: time myself. Actually, I've never bother look at this article
- 59:30Speaker 3: either for before today and the bonus icons not having
- 59:36Speaker 3: the little like feater in this there's gonna be a
- 59:42Speaker 3: card where you're just not going to see that, like
- 59:45Speaker 3: that counterfeit controversy card with the discard Pip right there
- 59:50Speaker 3: and you're not even gonna see it. Just get out
- 59:55Speaker 3: because even the one with the damage Pip, the Sir Lorcus,
- 59:58Speaker 3: the damage Pip almost blends in.
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: It's just.
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: I don't know some of those. Some of those are
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: gonna be hard.
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: Well again. And then get ready to call it. Judge,
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: are you ready? You got Judge, You got your Judge
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: Colin voice ready, Judge, Judge, Judge.
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: Yeah, while you're there, I will say good luck to
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: anyone who is able to make it to Evansville. I'm
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: totally jealous. Remember you can still support online. And if
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: you get the chance, if anyone is listening over in
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: Hong Kong, good luck in your nationals. I believe that
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: is the last one.
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: Oh and I.
- 1:00:42Speaker 3: Need I need uh, I need a VM five deck
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: from the China Vault tour. So yeah, somebody think of me.
- 1:00:54Speaker 4: If yeah, you're thinking about Evansville, check out on our
- 1:00:59Speaker 4: discord the uh crazy video of the trophy.
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: Whirlpool regiously cool.
- 1:01:07Speaker 4: Yeah, the world.
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: You know what it would have been better.
- 1:01:11Speaker 4: That spins like it's pretty amazing.
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: Could have been slightly better is if the bottom of
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: that whirlpool fed into a shredder. We could feed cards
- 1:01:22Speaker 3: to it.
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: You feed adaptive decks and there. I feel like that's
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: how we should.
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: You were supposed to make that event you said you
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: were going to.
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: I guess I still can't.
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: Right, No, it's all closed, man, whatever we we are actually.
- 1:01:47Speaker 3: Registration closed.
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: Yes, the community events have been closed.
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: But oh just send it, Josh, but you can't put
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: me in for shredder. Just put it down support at GIGI.
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: Just put it, just write it down, give me a day,
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: just DM me slide into my DMS. Josh.
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: I will say, I am very very appreciative that Josh
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: and others worked on getting the clones. So it was
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: a great idea, Josh. I know this one is your baby,
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: but by October twenty six, so you have a couple
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: of weeks there, but not not that long. But they
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: will be at will call for cloning decks. So I
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: appreciate it, Josh, and I know a lot others will
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: as well.
